Haliburton DrumFest celebrates community, inclusion and cultural diversity through a range of participatory activities for everyone.

Our Drum Festival, set in the heart of Haliburton cottage country, is presented by Rails End Gallery and Arts Centre on the Saturday of Labour Day Weekend. It is a celebration of the awesomeness of rhythm in community including a world music concert; percussionists; drums; dancing; good food; a vendor market; family friendly activities; learn to drum experiences and drum circles; a costumed procession through the park and joyful frolicking all day long. There is no admission fee. Come out and have a good time.
